    The happy hour show at the Torch Club with Jimmy Pailer and Lew Fratis is one of the best deals in town. You're just not going to find a better show anywhere. Jimmy and Lew have been playing together for years and it shows. I've watched as Lew has started a song and even though Jimmy might not know it, he pulls it out of his head and off they go. It's amazing. They're both incredibly talented and entertaining. The crowd is cool and the music hot! What else do you want on a Friday night at 5:30? Collapse

    Finally got to see the band in the best spot in town, the Torch Club. I have to say that the band sounded the best and I am an avid follower. The accoustics were great and the band was fantactic as usual but even better. The number one band in Sacramento in my eyes. Everyone needs to experience their talent and the joy of hearing good old school blues! Johnny and his old school guitar are like no other also! Can you tell I am a total fan? Collapse
